Good day. ------------------------------ Topic No. 2 Date: Fri, 29 Jul 1994 12:20:31 -0500 (CDT) From: William Wright To: email_address_removed Subject: abbriviations Message-ID: Some of you guys have been using some abbreviations i'm not familar with. Like LiTS. Is this a Live in Toyko Single? And if so I'd love to get it. I've seen their video. Could someone post a list of all the ones you use a lot (except those mentioned in the faq, I know those.) Also, is the release date for Awake really Oct 4th? I had heard August 15, now i'm really disapointed. And does anyone know what songs will be on it? Thanks, William ------------------------------ Topic No. 3 Date: Sat, 30 Jul 94 04:28:01 EDT From: email_address_removed To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: Age etc... Message-ID: I suppose I should do like the rest. I am eighteen and I will be going to college in Appleton, Wisconsin in a month and a half. While I don't have a clue what I'll be doing yet, right now I'm leaning towards comp-sci and physics (nuclear and astro-). A friend turned me on to Dream Theatre a few months ago; I'm not usually a big fan of "metal" bands (although i also love Queensryche), but I was quite impressed by the band's remarkable proficiency and the musical quality of their stuff, on a level far higher than most bands out there today. Another friend heard me listening to _Images & Words_, and offered to loan _When Dream and Day Unite_ to me (which made me QUITE happy, since I had check at record stores and hadn't found there to be anything else by DT). It turns out he's actually met them, and played as their warm up act twice (Keith Arsenault, singer for Emissary). Well, I've babbled enough.

I'm not flamming here, just sceptic. Later! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- According to the circle of fifths, and the pattern of sharps and flats: If the alphabet continued as notes progressed (Using Major Key Sig's) (i.e A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, etc.) eventually the key of Z Major would have 4 sharps. email_address_removed ERIC MOEGLING: email_address_removed ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Sat, 30 Jul 1994, Lanny Potts wrote: > For all who have inquiring minds: > > The time signature for the piano intro of WFS alternates; the first two > measures are 5/8, the third is 2/4 and so on. > > Good day. > > ------------------------------ Topic No. 5 Date: Sat, 30 Jul 1994 22:33:51 -0700 (PDT) From: Christopher Taylor Oates To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: WFS Time Signature Message-ID: Time sigs for most of WfS is: (Intro, first "verse") 3 measures of 5/8, measure of 4/8, 3 measures of 6/8, measure of 4/8, repeat. I think it repeats a total of four times. the last time through, right before "She shuts the doors & lights" the 4/8 is replaced by another 6/8 measure. THen, during "she shuts" part, it is all 6/8 beat, with the chord hits on every third beat, making it feel like a 2/4 or 4/4 part, with each "quarter" note being 3 beats. there are 14 of the 6/8 measures repeated. Then, it does 1 more repition of the 5-5-5-4-6-6-6-4 thingy, then changes as James begins singing the second verse. THough the melody is similar to the complex stuff, it is all 6/8 measures to the end of the singing, when it repeats the 5-5-5-4-6-6-6-4 part until the end. There. Isn't that simple ;) ~Chris ------------------------------ Topic No. 6 Date: Sun, 31 Jul 1994 02:17:35 -0500 (CDT) From: "Brian V. Cox" To: email_address_removed Subject: boot vid names? Message-ID: > Leppard, Gn'R. Oh, yeah, I have a DT video boot "Pulling Under > Lights and Dreams" from San Francisco last summer. So, that's about where do these vids get the names? if you are buying these vids from dealers, i would suggest getting them from people on this list (me, mike burstin, etc) instead. between us we probably have lower gen versions of all the dt vids than the dealers. dealers at shows usually use shitty tapes and record mono, anyway. i have a second gen hifi version of that san fran show, on a maxell hifi tape. hard to get any better than that. a guy i trade with paid the dude to film that san fran show. but, can anyone else offer up names that boot vids have been given, i am interested now. i remember someone had a named version of the toronto show. i also have a 2nd gen hifi version of that. on another note, i just recorded the yes show tonight in dallas (7/30 and started at 7:30, what a coincidence) and i got a SWEET recording of the FM soundboard broadcast. (they broadcasted it at low power inside the arena for people to listen to on headphones, what a mistake. FM walkman with digital tuner + 20dB attenuation cable + sony pro stereo recorder == sweet boot.) :) we also filmed the yes show, and it is VERY good. anyone interested in trading for any of this stuff email me, i need to get some new stuff :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ Brian V.

Actually, if my memory serves, it's 3 measures of 5/8, one 2/4, 3 of 6/8, one 2/4, then repeat and mix it up.

I believe that the first thing you get when you subscribe lists th elocation of the FAQ and other material. Please read this stuff BEFORE asking questions that are Frequenlty Asked - that's what the FAQ is for!
